How it started.

After being away from the arcade collecting hobby for a while, I got the itch to get back into things and build another collection.

First I had to free up some space in my garage in order to have a place to work and of course keep the games.

I started with an area of 20ft x 12ft at the back of the space.

The Arcade

Progress as of September 2025

The arcade is currently still very much a work in progress as games continue to be added. A lot of attention was given to lighting, audio and general use of space in order to create a great place to relax and enjoy the games.

Some machines I have purchased already restored or in generally great condition that were essentially plug & play. Others were non or partially working games that needed some amount of restoration.

Where I couldn’t find an original game, I would have to get a reproduction cabinet made and then painstakingly source all of the parts to create the game from scratch.
